The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

~40% of Republicans doesn't believe in democracy, would rather have authoritarian (assume white) rule. Do you consider yourself a Republican or an independent?

I see. So Republicans want a Klan government that's a dictatorship.
So nearly half the opposition party wants a racist authoritarian state? That's your view?

BTW, was Trump running a racist authoritarian state the last time out? I don't recall one.

It's the independent vote that matters on November.

Indeed!

Here's an NPR page for you. It won't hurt your brain:

Biden is underperforming with lots of key groups.

He won independents in 2020, according to exit polls, but loses them in this survey by 8 points to Trump. Biden won women by 15 points in 2020, but only leads by 4 with them in this poll.

Plus, just 57% of Black voters, 38% of Latinos and only 30% of those 18 to 29 approve of the job he's doing, the lowest of any age bracket. In 2020, Biden won almost 9 in 10 Black voters, two-thirds of Latinos and roughly 60% of young voters.

When it comes to his handling of immigration, Latinos give Biden an abysmal 27% approval.
